Netflix has officially renewed Running Point just one week after it launched.
The comedy show, which is co-created by Mindy Kaling, stars Kate Hudson as a former party girl who ends up running her family's pro basketball team after her brother is forced to resign.
After debuting on the platform last week, the streamer has confirmed that the series will be back for a second season.

However, when her brother is forced to resign after a scandal, Isla is made President of professional basketball team and family business, the Los Angeles Waves.
"Ambitious, Isla finally has a chance to prove to her skeptical brothers, the board, and the larger sports community that she was the right choice for the job, especially in the unpredictable, male-dominated world of sports," the synopsis adds.
Kaling has co-created and written or co-written a number of episodes, and is also an executive producer on the show alongside Hudson.
Kaling, who first rose to fame on the US version of The Office, has co-created a number of successful shows in recent years, including Netflix's Never Have I Ever and HBO's The Sex Lives of College Girls.
